A Green Matchbook

Written By Katie

At first glance you may be thinking, matchbooks?  Really Katie?  Yes, well I wanted to share this very green “matchbook” idea that I came across on Martha Stewart Weddings.  Love is all about the growth of your relationship, and even those relationships with your family and close friends.  This idea gives each guest a packet of seeds that they can plant at their house, and as it grows, it is a constant reminder to you and them of your wedding day where they witnessed your love for your husband to be.

You can find pdfs that you can download to print these yourself on your home computer.   A wedding seed mix is about $45 a pound (Martha Stewart suggests Flower Art & Soul) , and a pound will go very far in small glassine envelopes like these G7 ones from Clearbags which are $2.70 for 50 envelopes.  The only other materials you will need:

Cardstock
Color Printer
Staples
Optional: bone folder for folding at the dotted lines
